Straight Shank Router Bit D=3mm, S=8mm, Lc=12mm, Z1 – T.C.T. (Carbide) – Vatzo

This grooving router bit is designed for maximum precision in creating narrow channels and hardware recesses. Equipped with a carbide cutting edge (Vidia / T.C.T.), it offers superior wear resistance and a clean cut in the most diverse materials.

🪵 Material Compatibility:

Thanks to the T.C.T. plating, the router bit is versatile and can be used on:

• Solid wood: Softwoods (spruce, pine) and hardwoods (oak, beech, ash).
• Composite materials: MDF, chipboard (melamine-faced or raw), and plywood.

✨ Technical Advantages:

• Z1 cutting edge (single knife): Optimized design for rapid chip evacuation, reducing the risk of overheating during the creation of a recess.
• Industrial Precision: The 3mm diameter allows for fine detailing, ideal for drawer bottoms or joint channels.

⚠️ Usage Recommendation (Important):

Due to the small diameter of 3 mm relative to the cutting depth of 12 mm, it is recommended to create deep channels in successive passes (approx. 3-4 mm per pass) and to use a moderate feed rate. This method prevents the router bit body from breaking under lateral pressure and ensures an impeccable finish.
